The popular name for the period in U.S. history from 1920 to 1933 when the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages—except for medicinal or religious purposes—were illegal.
From 1920 to 1933 the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors were illegal in the United States. The eighteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution authorized Congress to prohibit alcoholic beverages, but the twenty-first amendment repealed this prohibition. The era of Prohibition was marked by large-scale smuggling and illegal sales of liquor, the growth of organized crime, and increased restriction on personal freedom.
The prohibition movement began in the 1820s in the wake of a revival of Protestantism that viewed the consumption of alcohol as sinful and a destructive force in society. Maine passed the first state prohibition law in 1846, and other states followed in the years before the u.s. civil war.
The prohibition party was founded in 1869, with a ban on the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor as its only campaign goal. This party, like most temperance groups, derived its support from rural and small-town voters associated with Protestant evangelical churches. The Prohibition Party reached it zenith in 1892 when its candidate for president polled 2.2 percent of the popular vote. The party soon went into decline, and though it still exists, it works mainly at the local level.
Hope this helped!!!!
O A levees not sure my answer 1
I think it’s except: They could still keep their same Roman traditions.
That it was seen as a way to undermine the Neutrality Acts. In a way, they were right. Lend-Lease basically killed the Neutrality Acts when it was finally put into action and pushed the US a step closer to being a full participant in the war. It wasn't seen as a drain on the US Treasury and isolationists weren't upset over it because of support for the Axis powers -- it wasn't why the Lend Lease program was drafted up in the first place. It also wasn't seen as a direct violation of US law since it still had to be approved by Congress, though isolationists saw it as a violation of their belief that the US shouldn't get involved with foreign conflicts.
